Where it stands

The county's pitch follows earlier reporting that GTA 6's marketing strategy could involve turning real-life Miami into the game's fictional Vice City. British GQ and ixbt.games were first to note the potential transformation.

Eurogamer.net and 게임메카 later added that specific locations such as Miami Airport and Downtown could be part of the real-world Vice City. There is no contradiction between outlets.

The current state is that Miami-Dade County is actively pitching the idea of a real-world "Vice City" takeover ahead of the GTA 6 launch.
